Excessive use of Antibiotics
Overusing antibiotics can lead to serious problems, including:
Antibiotic Resistance: Bacteria become resistant, making
infections harder to treat.
Loss of Good Bacteria: Disrupts gut bacteria.
Side Effects: Can cause nausea, diarrhea, or allergic reactions.
Weakened Immunity: weakening the immune system.
Higher Costs: Resistant infections require stronger, more
expensive treatments.
To avoid these risks, use antibiotics only when prescribed and
follow medical advice.
